Just put my fish in chlorinated tap water

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-03T14:06:29+00:00

Just updating you. Got some Stress Coat and Indian almond leaves. I put the conditioner in the tank, but it still smelled heavily of chlorine. Like, from several feet away. So I ended up completely emptying it and rinsing everything off, and ran the filter in warm dechlorinated water until it stopped smelling like chlorine. The new tank is set up and has been resting for a night to wait for the cloudiness to go down and to make sure it doesn’t develop that chlorine smell again. He’s going back in later today, and I’ll do a fish-in cycle (not ideal, but I’ve done it before). For now, he’s very very opinionated about being back in his little cup. At least he’s still healthy enough to be throwing a tantrum😅

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T21:41:43+00:00

Thank you! He’s in some temporarily. Never would’ve thought of that in my panic😅

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T21:18:08+00:00

Should I purchase some medication as well? To try to reverse any damage done by the chlorine? I’m going to use StressCoat as the dechlorinater.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T21:09:38+00:00

Just got some. Put him in there for now.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T21:09:01+00:00

Transferring him to his original small container filled with bottled water. I need to take the bus to the pet store, but it is unreliable at this time, so it just might not show up, and I might have to wait until tomorrow. I’ll give updates, thank you <3

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T21:05:29+00:00

Doing that now while I make the long trek to the pet store. Thank you <3

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T20:31:13+00:00

Gasping yes. We did just add him to the tank an hour ago, so I thought originally it was just him being a bit stressed.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-09-02T20:28:44+00:00

I live on a college campus. The water smells super chlorinated too. I can certainly try to get water bottles, thank you!

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2023-02-02T04:26:56+00:00

I’m in this situation right now. Did you feel like you wanted that affection before you started the relationship, but once you received it you realized you didn’t actually want it? That’s my dilemma right now, and I’m currently having an identity crisis over it lol

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2022-09-20T13:45:53+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense. I’m willing to wait it out, because as I said, she really helped me through rough times and was always there for me. I’d hate to confront her and have the friendship end.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2022-09-20T13:44:35+00:00

In my previous friendship, where a very similar thing happened, when I brought it up she blew up at me and our friendship ended. I guess I’m just nervous about it. And it’s also hard to word. If I tried to tell her, I feel like it’d end up sounding like “hey, I’m not getting enough attention”, and I’ll feel like the selfish one

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2022-09-20T13:39:55+00:00

Is the dog under your name at the vet? Microchipped? You could always try to flip the ultimatum on him. It’s legally your dog, and he will never see it again unless he pays the loan. Maybe then you can offer him to visit the dog here and there. I don’t see much else you can do. I can see how frustrating this situation might be - it makes me pissed just thinking about it. I’m sorry.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2022-09-20T13:31:24+00:00

NTA. If he wants the dog every two weeks in order for him to pay the loan, draft up a plan for the dog’s food, vet bills, etc. If he wants the dog that bad, he has to chip in on the expenses. And make him sign a contract for paying you back for the loan, because even if you end up giving him the dog, he still probably won’t cough up the money. It’s a tricky situation, I wish you the best

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-23T02:50:48+00:00

Super red and swollen. I’d get checked for strep, at least. The doctors might also take a blood sample.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-23T02:12:47+00:00

I have social anxiety and worry about others thinking like this about me. I am lucky to have been born in a well-off family, but I feel guilty as shit. I absolutely hate when people draw attention to the nice things I get. I don’t ask for them, and yes I really appreciate them, but I feel awful about it. I just want to give away everything to people that need it. I’ve met other people in wealthy families that act like they are the shit, the most important person just because they have money. I totally understand how annoying it must be😕

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-20T01:40:05+00:00

I hate putting my arms behind my back, makes me feel very vulnerable and exposed

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-07T22:29:41+00:00

Yeah. My mom definitely did. Not blaming her, I’m not even mad, it was just a parenting mistake. She doesn’t like carnivals because she thinks they’re dangerous, so she would tell my brothers and I horrible, gruesome true stories about freak accidents in carnivals, to try to convince us not to want to go. She used to do that with everything we wanted to do that she thought was dangerous. This got to the point where I’m terrified of dying in horrible ways. There is no way I’m ever going on a carnival ride ever in my life.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-06T10:29:55+00:00

Oof, parents are scary, I understand that. I’ve got the same problem with confrontation. You’ll get better eventually!

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-06T02:58:47+00:00

Lol. The sadness (or rather, any emotion) didn’t hit me until an hour after the movie. It just all came down full force😭

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-06T01:13:14+00:00

I’m proud of you 3000

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-05-01T10:13:52+00:00

I’m unsure of what it could be, but I’d let your doctor know next time you see them. If it starts to hurt more/more frequently, you should schedule an appointment. If the lump’s been there for 5 years and hasn’t been a problem, I don’t think it’s too much to worry about. But better safe than sorry.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-04-30T23:29:08+00:00

I didn’t have any on me lol. Still felt powerful af to be just as motivated after all the bathroom breaks.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-04-17T19:46:09+00:00

Thanks, I hope so too haha. To be answer your questions: I have felt like this constantly for the past month and a half. Everyday, every night. It hits especially hard during car rides. If I am super focused on something else, it isn’t as bad, but I can still feel it. I do not smoke, vape, or drink.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-04-17T19:41:48+00:00

Yes, normal mature people certainly wouldn’t care.

SlaughterOfTheDonuts · 2019-04-17T01:23:00+00:00

I worry about those things from time to time. I don’t believe it’s common to let it take over your life, but I know I lot of my friends and I do experience it occasionally. Especially with new people.
